We spend about 48 hours in Xanatseni and enoyed it very much. The staff is very friendly and experienced and were a great help for a perfect start of our holidays in the Kruger area. The included game drives are very interesting, even if the...More

We spent a couple of days in Xanatseni Private Camp, with my parents and sister, as part of our 2-weeks trip through South Africa. Personally, this was the highlight of this trip!!

All the staff were very good especially Teneil, Ross and Mike with Sydney also being a good tracker.

Take a nice, warm fleece for morning and evening game drives. Sometimes you go all the way to the south of the park and it can get chilly in the open top jeep. Daps/closed toe shoes for outside evening dining (my son almost stepped on a Scorpion). Camera with a really good zoom lens, mind you the rangers get you so close to the animals, it’s unbelievable. Swimming costumes.. pool area is gorgeous!
You will LOVE Xanatseni! It’s such an amazing place and the staff are unbelievable. We will most definitely go back! Ps. Beware of the monkeys, they are so naughty. Keep your windows closed when you’re not in the room. They broke through the mosquito blind in our room and stole our crisps lol. Have an amazing time!!! Say hi to the staff for us.

Hi ...we were meant to fly direct from Cape Town to hoedspruit but hoedspruit airport was closed that day so we ended up landing at joburg. We then had to get a taxi up to xanatseni .... It took 9 hours and is an awful journey once you get out of joburg! Do not attempt it!!
Highly highly recommend flying into hoedspruit airport and then sorting a transfer through xanatseni to the lodge and back. We flew back from hoedspruit to joburg and transfer is only 30 mins and saw wildlife all the way!
